In the morning arrival at Seville airport
Meet & Greet with our local assistance
Seville has been recognised as one
of the most beautiful cities in the
world, with its more than one
hundred buildings declared National
Monuments. Here you are in the
very heart of Andalusia’s culture,
the centre of bullfighting and
Flamenco music!

well as a drive along the
Guadalquivir River at the Torre de
Oro on to the Plaza de Toros and
Puente de Triana before returning
to Plaza España.

4. Day 1
.
For lunch we will enjoy tapas by making
a little tour
The tapas are part of the Spanish life
style. Originally they have been used as
little lids (in Spanish „tapa“), avoiding
that insects might fall into the glass.
Today they are served and consumed with
any alcoholic drink and substitute in many
cases lunch or dinner – all served in small
bites.
This is a nice way to combine the joy of
life and vitality of the Spaniards with their
hospitality and their fondness towards
gastronomy.

5. Day 1
Then we drive to Jerez de la Frontera
(1 hour)
Jerez de la Frontera
Jerez is located in the province of
Cadiz. With its rich artistic and
monumental heritage, Jerez de la
Frontera is one of the most emblematic
enclaves in Andalusia.
Its wines, horses, festivals, traditions,
sport events, and cultural activities
make the city a place to be visited, but
also admired. Jerez de la Frontera
became famous for its wines named
after the town, which the British
pronounced "sherry". It is called "de la
Frontera" because it once stood on the
frontier between the Moorish and the
Christian realms. Jerez is also famous,
throughout the world, for its fine horses
and brilliant singers and dancers of
flamenco.

8. Day 2
Breakfast at hotel
Morning activity
In the gardens of the hotel we will get the
first introduction to the bullfight
traditions – with TauroPilates.
Based on the movements of the Torero it
will give you the feeling for doing a
bullfight yourself!
Then we proceed to a breeding farm for
Toros Bravos and Andalusian Horses.
The origin of the fighting bull can be
traced back through the different
indigenous bovine breeds dating from
the 15th Century, though it was not
until the middle of the 18th Century
that the fighting bull began to
become clearly identifiable through
the selective breeding process of bull
breeders in Spain.

9. Day 2
Then have the opportunity to enter the
farmland with special trucks so we can see
the horses and bulls from close proximity.
The bulls are magnificent animals and are
admired and revered for inspiring not only
fear but also respect. A toro bravo
typically weighs between 450 – 650 kilos,
and is a highly alert and responsive
animal. The bull’s physique is
characterized by the distribution of muscle
around the neck and shoulders, used to lift
and toss with its horns; the length of
horns, legs, tail and coloring all vary by
breed and bloodline.
We will also enjoy a nice lunch at the main
cortijo.
At the bullring we have the opportunity to see a
demonstration of a bullfight with a calf – you can
also join and try for yourself!

10. Day 2 - evening
Welfare dinner at hotel
The former castle of the hotel is a perfect
setting for our welfare dinner!
Upon arrival our guests will be welcomed
with a welcome cocktail, during which
we can admire the art of a Sherry pourer
– called “Venenciador” - who fills the
small glasses from a long distance and a
professional ham cutter shows you how
the famous air dried Iberian ham is cut
from the bone.
During dinner enjoy the Spanish guitar
– and to finish we will have a
spectacular Flamenco show!

11. Day 2 - evening
